WWE NXT 27/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This is a great example of how the length time of NXT is too short because this show honestly was great and I do expect NXT to top this show because it's NXT and they know what they're doing. 

Opening Segment.

The gold standard of pro wrestling aka NXT kicked off with the former North American champion Johnny Gargano coming out to the ring. 

Johnny Gargano grabbed a microphone and he said that his match with the Velveteen Dream was one of his toughest. Johnny also said that he feels like Johnny champion with no championship on his waist. 

Out came his former arch-enemy, Tommaso Ciampa and he said that the both of them as a duo are unstoppable and how they need each other. After that, Tommaso Ciampa offered Johnny Gargano to team up with him in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic to which Johnny Gargano accepted. 

Short segment but to the point and it gives some direction to this storyline. This Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic hasn't been that star-studded probably since Finn Balor was in that tournament back in late 2015. 

After that, Cathy Kelly interviewed Ricochet about how he has unfinished business with Undisputed Era and he's going to talk to William Regal so that he could put himself and Aleister Black in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. 

Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Taynara Conti and Xia Li.

Man, those spinning kicks to Aliyah from Li were executed to perfection but Unfortunately, Xia Li wasn't able to win this match because the team of Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne won the match with a double team spinning neckbreaker to Xia Li. I'm liking this side of Aliyah week by week and I hope that she's utilized to her big potential. 

After that, there were two separate segments played back to back between Velveteen Dream, The Undisputed Era, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair and what's the similarity? Well, they all disagreed with each other about a championship opportunity. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee.

During the match, Djakovic did a great looking sitout chokeslam to a near fall. This match ended with a double count out. Creative, GIVE ME A REMATCH NOW!! 

The final 4 teams competing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament are, Ricochet and Aleister Black, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, #DIY and NXT UK’s Moustache Mountain. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The Boss n’ Hug connection came out with a standing ovation from the full sail crowd. They cut a promo basically saying that they are looking out for competition on RAW, Smackdown Live and NXT. Another short segment and they didn't say anything noteworthy but it's nice to see those young ladies back in nxt. 

Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler. 

WWE Photo
Shayna Baszler in this match was aiming at Mia Yim's leg considering that Yim is known for her knee strikes and I'm loving it. Great storytelling being told in this match. Shayna Baszler won the match with the clutch submission. Even in defeat, Mia Yim looked great in this and I do see her in Women's championship contention very soon. In other words, NXT did a great job at showcasing who Mia Yim is as a wrestler. Overall a very good match. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Opening Segment, Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler, Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
